the very odd thing i see is that some of the doctors that prescribe this stuff do not know much about them.......as far as how long you should take them and how to STOP taking them!!!

They know what the drug companies tell them. And the drug comapnies are only iinterested in PROFIT.

We've all seen it happen over the years. The next best thing comes out and a year later it's destroyong people's hearts, or killing them and it is yanked off the market.

The Doctors are not adapt at getting you into a state of health; they are only good at treating symptoms and even then; it is pure unscientific hit or miss.

Of course, at the moment I really really dislike Doctors and anyone involved with the making of this horrific drug I am in Cold Turkey Withdrawal from. You couldn't PAY me or hold me down and force me to swallow one of those again. Not ever.

I'm so mad!

Idiots!

Seriously.

And no they totally set you up to fail. To get dependant or worse; adicted though in the withdrawal part who cares right?

Good luck and good health and thanks for the post!

ohhh they know .I don't blame the doctor for my addiction .My doctor told be tramadol was addicting (some doctors don't believe this ) It didnt stop me the first time. withdrawal didn't stop me either .They are going by what you tell them if you are telling them you are in lots of pain then they are trying to treat that the best that they can.In most cases (not all ) its not the doctor fault they are doing there jobs
